Reviews by MaltsOfGlory:

Well for starters on the looks, it is crystal clear, I mean it's completely see through, I know it's a lager, but this is kinda of ridiculous. This might be the most see through beer I have ever seen. It pours a one and a half finger head that is a hanging around for a bit, which is surprising, giving the appearance of it. Also in the appearance - so much carbonation, wow, OMG! There are so many f-ing bubbles coming up from this thing. I hate to say it, but other than the head, this thing doesn't look too good. The smell is a little better, I don't pick up any corn or anything really offensive like that, it smells like a lager. I mean there really isn't much aroma though, you get a small malty smell, maybe a hint of hops somewhere in there, but not much. It just kinda smells like a generic lager, without the corn and other crap. Ok, well for the taste, it's not too bad. It for sure tastes like a lager, and there really isn't too much going on in the way of taste, but there really isn't anything offensive about it, it's very smooth and easy drinking. I'm torn with the taste really, because it is tasty, and there isn't anything wrong with it, it's just really really not exotic as far as the taste goes. I want to give this a 4 on taste, but I can't bring myself to do that, so 3.5. Mouthfeel is normal for a lager and the drinkability is pretty high, but that is no surprise. I guess overall it's an easy drinking lager, and it is tasty, with nothing wrong with it, but if there was a beer to define the term "nothing special about it" this would be the one.

Poured from a stubby a clear light golden with a one finger white head very sprtizy looking,wow nice aromas going on definent lemon rind and grassy hop aromas melding nicely with some toasted grain and maybe a touch of iron.Very sturdy mouthfeel no wimpy yellow fizzy lager here quite grainy in the flavor and mouthfeel department quite clean with very nice herbal finish showing a generous amount of hops thrown in this brew.Now this would be a go to beer for sporting events or get togethers for me,a well built American lager old school and damn good.

I had this beer out of the bottle (no glass on hand), but what a sweet bottle it is! The only way it could be cooler is if it came in one of those oil can looking things. The smell is sweet grain tempered with spicy hop, and just a wisp of alcohol.

The bottle gives up a great, crisp, crackery grain flavor, that lifts up spicy hops in the backend. Very smooth. Gets a bit grassy with warmth. This is pretty much like if you took many of Hieleman's products, stripped them of their off- flavors, boosted the body, and bittered them a tad more artfully.

Mouthfeel is nice. Midwieght with plenty of carbonation but almost no sting. Drinkability is great, my only beef with this as a session beer is it is just a bit on the filling side.

This is a great product. It is an easy-drinking macro-style beer brewed with high-quality ingredients. A well-built beer, but still makes you kinda want a plastic cup and a cigarette.

A- Pours a crisp golden fluid that has a one and a half inch head that falls to a froth and ring around glass. Lacing is very light but there.

S- Smell is of fresh malty goodness, grassy hops and light and sweet yeasty scent in the backbone of the nose.

T-M- The taste is a fresh and in your face lager with massive drinkable qualities. Upfront is a grainy malt with slight dry qualities, second is a faint grassy hop oil flavor that offers slight bitterness and to finish is a perfectly carbonated watery smoothness that rolls off the tongue with ease.

D- The drinkablity on this session is on the outrageous side perfect if you can find a whole lot of these badboys to take out for a night.

I was in the mood for a lager when I came across this one and it didn't disappoint. The aroma wasn't very strong and the taste had a touch of sweetness to it, perhaps from fruit. An earthiness was also noted. It had a medium body with light carbonation on the tongue. I wasn't blown away by it, but it was easy to drink.

Generally I like American ales and prefer German lagers, but I thought I'd give this PNW premium lager a try.

I picked up a 12-pack at my closest Fred Meyer for a decent price. Bottles are an unusual 11 fl. oz. which recalls the Oly stubby of yore.

This beer really grew on me as I drank it over the course of a couple weeks. Slight toasty/caramel flavor, full-bodied for a lager, with great mouthfeel. Definitely better than any of the American adjunct lagers I'm used to.

Stubby 11 ounce bottle, pours clear very light/golden amber, quickly departing near white head, leaves nothing behind on the glass. Just a faint wiff of adjunct on the nose, corn?

Best I can say is, its light and easy drinking...not a lot going on here. Just a thin layer of malt, just barely a hint of hops to dry the finish. Hot summer day, ice cold..you get the idea. Not worth driving cross town for.

Taste: corn, toasted malt, and sugar with a bit of hops around the edges.

Mouthfeel: slightly sweet, high carbonation, light body

Drinkability: To me this is in the lower half of this style. It walks a line between pilsner and American adjunct beer. Certainly not the worst I have had in the style, but nowhere near some others. I might drink this more if the abv were a bit lower, but for me this is a one and done.

The beer pours a clear golden color with a white head. The aroma is full of grain with a little bit of grass from the hops. Smells like a pale lager should smell, only without the harsh notes you sometimes get in the non-craft versions. The flavor is very similar. I get some grain and sweet biscuit malt notes, as well as some grass. No bitterness. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

I usually don't judge on packaging, but the stubby bottles are great and let the drinker know that this is a different beer - not what you are use to. Box is also creative and good marketing effort for full sale.

Poured a nice head of 1" that dies down to a nice foamy layer of foam across the top of golden-amber brew. Nice stream of bubbles rise to top.

First smell is of malts and sweetness, further reveals slightly floral/herbal tones. Taste is pleasant and very smooth. Malts are nice and provided just enough sweetness while giving a nice dry finish. As many bubbles rise in the glass, one might expect something more attacking, but bubbles are quite pleasant and easy to drink.

For $10.99 a 12 pack, this brew is an excellent alternative to the BMC brews. While I don't often drink a session brew, Session is a great choice. Very easy to drink, and very much worth a try.

Taste: Smooth, clean and mildly dry body of straw like malt, hint of bread dough, hops balance out the brew with a nice restrained floral and grassy bitterness and a hint of lemon rind, dry finish with lingering hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, mildly crisp, dry throughout and in the finish.

Drinkability: It lives up to its name, i would definatly enjoy knockin back quite a few of these with some friends, cool bottle too. A basic beer brewed right.

Didn't care for this at first, but realized I had let it get too warm. Drink it cold and it goes down easy, slightly sweet with a crisp finish. Lightly carbonated. Drink it only slightly warm and it has a wheatish and unpleasant aftertaste. So plan on drinking it fast and having several. True to the name.

Wish the bottles were 12 ounces instead of 11. Have a nagging feeling that I'm getting shorted somehow, even though I knew about the size before I made the purchase.

Session Lager is a "concept" beer, complete with unique packaging (11 oz stubbies in a 12 pack, with barely a mention of Full Sail on the label, twist-off tops that aren't exactly easy to undo). It's possibly the worst beer in Full Sail's current line-up, but it's deserving of consideration since this is a purpose-driven beer; it is suitable for a large number of occasions, most of which involve outdoor activity and the kind of company that has no interest in hoppy or dark craft beers. This is an anti-snob microbrew.
Marketing aside, how's the beer? It's a decent, all-American golden lager, very close to what the megas make. It has perhaps a bit more ooomph, just a bit more flavor, and a cleaner profile. But it's got those mild if prickly, tangy hops in the nose to remind you of cheaper brews. The finish is succinct and keeps you coming back for more; drinkability is very high which stands to reason since that is the beer's sole reason for existing. I imagine many will love this but most BAs will probably taste this, think "hmm, ok, fine" and quickly move on to something more substantial. Bring this to a party, or on a trip where trunk space is at a premium (the stubbies take up less room than longnecks). This is a good choice if you are spending time with those suspicious of beer snobbery, but the beer tastes much better poured into a glass, hence you may need to blow your cover.
